Description:

In stage 1 students will receive a virtual kit with a series of fun and engaging coding tasks. Students will participate in these tasks via a user-friendly online platform – accessible from school or home. The challenges will require that students apply coding and algorithmic thinking in order to solve interesting problems. These tasks can be conducted either at school or during school holidays, at the student's pace. Scaffolding and coding resources will be provided in case students need some support along the way. Teachers will also have access to suggested solutions.

Schools can register as many students as they please, however, we ask that you keep in mind that the target audience is high ability students as challenges are set at a difficulty level that is above the year level categories.  

Coding kits will be available from start of Term 2 and available to access until end of the year.
